Monday night's loss to the Eagles marked Green Bay's first game since losing TE Tucker Kraft to an ACL tear. The team also missed WR Matthew Golden (shoulder) for the game, and even watched WR Romeo Doubs leave early in the fourth quarter with a chest injury. WR Dontayvion Wicks, meanwhile, drew a team-high eight targets. He managed just 4 receptions for 38 yards on a night that found Green Bay throwing for just 176 yards in all. RB Josh Jacobs led the team in receptions (5) and ranked second in targets (six). WR Bo Melton was the only other Packer to exceed four targets, catching two of five looks for 28 yards. WR Christian Watson led the team with 45 receiving yards on 2 receptions among four targets.
Monday night marked Wicks' return from a two-game calf injury that still limited his Week 10 practice time and rendered him questionable for the game.
Wicks wound up playing the second-most snaps and running the second-most routes among Green Bay WRs, though. He trailed only Christian Watson in that category.
We'll have to see about the injury situations for other Green Bay wideouts this week. Wicks doesn't seem likely to lead a healthy Golden in playing time. And we know Doubs has been the best bet for playing time and targets when available.
But the injuries make Wicks worth considering as a low-cost stash in deeper leagues ahead of a Week 11 visit to the Giants.
Just keep in mind that Wicks has exceeded four targets and 2 catches just twice through seven appearances this year. He has also topped out at 44 yards (vs. Washington in Week 2).
Odds remain against Wicks being a significant fantasy factor the rest of the way.
